The City Charter Centennial cele bration was postponed four weeks, or from the week Oct. 1st-7th to the week Oct. 29th-Nov. 4th, because of the or- der of the state health department closing the schools during September. This prevented rehearsals being held | for the great historical pageant to be | held at Forbes Field in which many young people will take part. The post: ponement, while regretted at the time, has, however, resulted in the as- surance that the whole celebration will be much greater than it would have been’if it had taken place on the days originally named. The pageant and masque of freedom, which will now be held at Forbes Field on the evenings of Oct. 31st, Nov. 1st and 2nd, will be presented in ANAS NSS POULTRY EXHIBIT REPORT (Continued from mage 1) Louis Klotz—Reverend E.

For what! ‘on the tail of foes, by seeking biffs | ‘and swats? They only harvest gobs | of gloom or occupy an early tomb! neath the forget-me-nots. Let's all in- | igist on balmy peace! Let slaughtering ;and warfare cease! That is my con- stant cry; I don’t believe in rearing? sons to carry snickersnees or guns, to’! lose their legs’ or.die. 3 And yet if some one pulls my nose, | or tramps unduly on my toes, I try to ‘maul his dome; I try my. best to show | ‘how Old Masters punch. the human ‘brow, in Munich and in Rome. My’ Jovely theories are eschewed, and I’ Andulge in conduct rude, offended” and | garaged; the Dove of .Peace looks | pretty punk, good will to men is emp~ fy bunk, while I am thus engaged. There is no sense in gory fight; it pever demonstrates the right, it ne'er ‘gorrects a wrong; 'twere better far in peace to dwell, and cultivate the vale | iand dell, and fill the air with song. ‘yd rather be a farmer mild than gather in the tumult wild a warrior’s renown; for Balmy Peace I always am; the lion and the gentle lamb together should lie down. (The basest of degraded men came round last night and stole my hen, from out my unlocked coop; no doubt ‘today he’s gnawing wings, and chew- ing gizzards, legs and things, or swil- Mng chicken soup. So I have borrowed ‘Johnson’s gun, and loaded it with balf a ton of shingle nails and shot; and if the wretch comes here once ‘moregand monkeys with my henhouse aeor, I'll show him which is what.) — By Walt Mason from Judge The Historian «The perfect historian is he in whose work the character and spirit of an age is exhibited in miniature,” wrote Macaulay. “He relates no fact, he at- tributes no expression to his charac- ters, which is not authenticated by sufficient testimony. But, by judicious selection, rejection and arrangement, he gives to truth those attractions whith have been unsurped by fiction. in his narrative a due subordination is observed; some transactions are 1m- portant; others retire. But the scale on which he represents them is in- creased or diminished, not according io the dignity of the persons concern- ed in them, but according to the de- gree in which they elucidate the con- dition of society and the nature of nan. He shows us the court, the camp and the senate. But he shows us also ‘do people gain by blows, by camping | a the nation. He considers no anecdote, no peculiarity of manner, no familiar | saying, as too insignificant to illus-} irate the operation of laws, of religion, | and of education, and to mark the | progress of the human mind. Men will | not merely be described, but will be | made intimately known to us. The changes of manners will be indicated, } not merely by a few general phrases | or a few extracts from statistical doc uments, but by appropriate images in every line.” Lack Luck is that which has made yout successful neighbor what he is and has conspired to prevent you from be- coming what you would like to be. ‘Luck is good or bad, according to whether you are contemplating you neighbor’s success Or accounting on ‘your own failures. ! Luck is a handy little thing to have | _ around, for if it does not benefit you | it at least affords you an objective | kicking point. Also, the mere mention | of its name relieves you of the neces- ‘sity of making many®*embarrassing ex- | auses. suck is a barb which may pre: vent disaster from poaching on your 0 put if it does not do this, jeast have the satisfaction of reagons for your | i | | | you st impaling upon it all defeat.
